If using bacon, fry in a medium saucepan until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add butter and melt with bacon grease over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until it starts to become translucent. Add bell pepper and jalapeno pepper and continue to sauté until peppers begin to soften. Add Cajun or Creole seasonings and stir to combine.

Add corn and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally until corn is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add cream and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
